Why do my two favorite sports teams have the SHITTIEST COACHES that can't make the most god damned simple decisions?
The Green Bay Packers have started the season 0-3 now, and while there were bad calls by the officials and some mistakes by the quarterback, the coach is ultimately responsible for certain decisions and when those decision lead to losses... you need to seriously cut little slack with this guy and toss him out like yesterday's trash.
I'm not talking about taking a risky chance, and failing. I'm talking about basic football here.
TWO coaching fuckups led to the Packer's loss today against the Tampa Bay Bucs. One: A pass was ruled incomplete when you could see on the screen that the ball appeared to be caught. Mike Sherman did not contest the call, which wouldn't have given the packers a first down but would have placed the ball quite a few yards closer for a field goal attempt. Instead, Sherman just went ahead and put the kicking team on the field that proceeded to blow it. The deciding factor in this can easily be pointed to a few extra yards.
Next, the Packers were behind 17 to 6 when Favre threw a touchdown pass making the game 17-12. Now, the common sense thing to do is to realize they are down by 5 points, so kicking an extra point would only make it a 4 point lead, and missing it would leave the lead at 6. FUCK YOU COACH SHERMAN, for being a complete jackass and kicking the extra point. Why? Because if you went for 2 the packers would have been down by only 3 points instead of 4. The Packers wound up losing by 1 point (the blown extra point on the first touchdown). And I just thought, what the hell is wrong with this guy? YOU ARE DOWN, not in the lead. You don't fucking make decisions based on where you'd be if you score again to pass the other team, you make decisions based on YOUR CURRENT SCORE.
At least if the Packers lost 17-15, you could say that you tried. But nope: It was a coaching fuckup.
Ever since Sherman was a coward on 4th and 1 against Philadelphia years ago in the playoffs, I've disliked his coaching style. He is a low-to-mediocre coach with a good team, and now...he is a low-to-mediocre coach with a mediocre team. The packers will finish this season under .500, and it will be his fault. Thanks alot, Sherman. We have alot of losses to look forward to with you in charge.
Now, before one assumes I just blame the coach for all that goes wrong...please know I don't. There are coaches with teams so bad you just know there isn't anything they can do to win the game. They are not at fault, of course. When the packers had an 8-8 season and canned the coach after 1 year, I thought it might be a little early for it. He wasn't great, but in looking back... was better than Mike Sherman. If this season finishes with the packers not in the playoffs, and this is likely so, the Packers must fire coach Sherman. If they blow the next game, and this is likely so, then I'd say you can go ahead and fire him now.
Mike Sherman, you suck.
I think people will cut him a break this game because there was a play where the buc's fumbled but it was viewed as a forward pass, but was overturned after review...but you can't change possession. If the refs had made the proper call from the beginning, the pack would have had the ball at their own 13... fuckin' refs fucked up to and I hope they take note of who made that call and watch his ass this season with a quick trigger on the "you're fired button". I've seen Favre throw forward passes that were called fumbles, and usually the refs error on this side...not the other. Pathetic calls...
Yes, I'm angry. Because I've had to endure the same thing watching Dusty Baker take a good Cubs team and pissing it away by horrible coaching. Steve Stone, the cubs ex-announcer, once called out Dusty Baker on the air wondering why he was making these decisions...he was pretty much fired at the end of the year for his criticism that was spot-on. People who listened to Stone in the booth would say, "Why don't they get a TV in the dugout so they can listen to the advice Steve offers?" Nope. That can't happen... the coach makes all the decisions and nobody seems to second guess this. That's why the Cubs play absolute shitty basic baseball and half their team is on the injured reserve at any given time.
Fuck you, Mike Sherman and Dusty Baker. I don't care if they hired a god damned circus clown to replace the both of you.
SHIT. I need to just give up watching sports, because it really isn't worth the frustration.

I refuse to watch the green bay packers anymore until they sack the fucking coach. Everytime they show his face on TV I want to smash a brick into it.
Also, people whine about Brett Favre and how Aaron Rogers should be put into the game. That's wonderful!!! I'm sure that when he comes in the secondary will fix itself, the o-line will get their act together, and their injured receivers will have miracle recovery times.
Favre should retire just to stick it to the idiot announcers who are stupid enough to think this season is favre's fault. He's the only one worth a fuck on the entire team. (Oh, their run defense is pretty decent though...at least until the defense is on the field way too long).
FUCK THE PACKERS. They piss me off. I don't care if they go 0-16 as long as Mike god damn Sherman isn't there.

I am sure the cubs became "trendy" sometime when they had Sammy Sosa, but not so much before that. In actuality, the Cubs are simply more "Wrigley field" than the baseball team itself. Going to wrigley is a freakin' blast. There are few other teams that can get pulverized by an opponent and the fans walk out to the local bars and party it up regardless. I can't stand the trendy fans, however. Hopefully those ones will not be buying seats in the next couple years so many I can attend a game without being raped by a scalper. (Which I refuse to support...so haven't seen any games.)

fair enough, I can see how distance comes into play, Afterall many people in michigan like the packers, and many of them live closer to green bay than Detroit so it makes sense. As for "Calling someone a fair weather fan that supports the FUCKING CUBS???" they are the loveabal losers afterall. They are just as trendy as the fucking red sox were before last year.

Sorry, a_reader, I misunderstood your response. But I do not like the teams simply because they have a rich history. I grew up with it all around me. Seriously, look up Kenosha, Wisconsin on mapquest and you'll understand. There are quite a few cars in my town who sport Chicago Cubs license plate frames with Green Bay Packer window stickers.

I put this as the teams I support in each sport I watch, and like, the most:
1. Football: Green Bay Packers. A fan since as long as I can remember (a young child...dating back into the late 70's and early 80's.
2. Baseball: Chicago Cubs. A fan since as long as I can remember (a young child...dating back into the late 70's and early 80's. I went to "Dave Kingman T-Shirt day" for god's sake.
3. Basketball: Chicago Bulls. A fan since I started watching Basketball in Michael Jordan's rookie year. I lived in Michigan at this time, and if I wanted to support the local team I would have supported a team that was doing well and would win back-to-back championships...the original "bad boys". I was lucky in the fact the Bulls became a great team and 6 years later would start winning championships. When Jordan left, the team was done. Not only was it just him that left, most the team (that were any good) did. I still follow them, but they don't have the magic as they once did and I don't watch basketball anymore. I lived in Utah for awhile, and just happened to be there when the bulls beat the Jazz for the title. That was a blast.
4. Hockey: The Red Wings. Nope! Just kidding. Although I lived in the Detroit area for many years and the fans around there give less than a shit about the Tigers and Lions, and care only a little about the Pistons... There is one thing they do like: Their Redwings. I could have jumped on that bandwagon if I wanted to, but that would require me actually liking hockey. No thanks. I dislike hockey.
Now...Where do I live?

Teams: Football = Green Bay Packers or Chicago Bears
Baseball = Milwaukee Brewers or Chicago Cubs / Chicago White Sox
Basketball = Milwaukee Bucks or Chicago Bulls
Hockey = Chicago Blackhawks
Green Bay is further away - 155 miles.
Chicago is closer - 66 miles.
Milwaukee is 49 miles.
And while I like the Packers, Cubs, and Bulls... I do not like the Bears, Brewers, and Bucks. Even if these teams did well (the bears did in the 80's), I would not become a fan.
And as much as I liked Jordan, I did not like the Washington Wizards and would have rather seen the bulls do well. Unfortunately, they suck. But ... I don't watch much basketball anymore.

-2 because nobody can be a fan of a team from both Green Bay and from Chicago. You can not be called a "fair weather" fan, for the Cubs haven't had a good season as long as I've been alive. What you are, instead, is that cunt that follows these teams because they're storied, venerable franchises and you want to seem "above the rest of us" in the sports world.
I bet you like the Celtics too, faggot.

Was a Bulls fan (before they were good). Now, I really don't watch basketball anymore.
Calling someone a fair weather fan that supports the FUCKING CUBS??? WTF? Same with the Packers... WTF. Do you know how many years I had to endure of losing seasons before Favre came to town? I've been a Cubs and Packers fan since I was a very young child.
Pick up an atlas and look up "kenosha" and understand how one could easily be a cubs & packers fan. The brewers? Please... They were an AL team and I never liked the feel of any AL team playing (the whole pitcher not batting thing, etc.) Plus...my dad is a fan of both teams as well, so this is a multi-generation thing.
This is a fair-weather fan: I like the Detroit Redwings, The Patriots, and the Spurs!
I live in Wisconsin, a die hard Packers area, obviously. If you don't know how much they are rabid packers fans, go there sometime. They'll sell out all their games even with a shitty record. and since I live on the border of Illinois, the cubs have a VERY VERY strong fan base here. Hell, they always got more press in the sports page in the local paper than the Brewers. And as for why I like the Bulls instead of the Bucks? I moved to Michigan for awhile (when the pistons were good) and disliked the Pistons (mainly because of their fans). So I started watching the Bulls...before they won any championship.
Heh...fairweather fan of the packers (won one championship in my lifetime) and cubs (won 0 championships in my lifetime, my dad's lifetime, and his dad's lifetime).
The pussies below thinking "american sports suck" are typical arrogant foreigners who will be the first ones to say they dislike americans because they are arrogant and rude. Look in the mirror, motherfuckers.
